Bad vibration in air inlet duct reasons

Bad vibration in the air inlet duct of an Ingersoll-Rand CENTAC can be caused by:
1. Induced vibration from the driver – The driver may be causing excessive vibration that affects the air inlet duct. 2. Unbalanced motor rotor – An imbalance in the motor rotor can generate vibrations that transfer to the duct system.
To correct these issues, the motor rotor should be balanced, and the source of the induced vibration from the driver should be addressed.

Constant Pressure Control - Modulate Constant pressure control is a frequently required performance control method for Centac air compressors. If left uncontrolled, the compressor's discharge pressure would rise and fall along the natural performance curve as system demand changed. Modulate control satisfies the constant pressure requirement.
Unload Design Point discharge pressure is required. Point Reload Point Modulate is the most commonly (Reload Percent) used control method for Centac Discharge Pressure and X-FLO compressors. Energy Saving Control - Autodual Unloaded Autodual automatically loads the Bypass Inlet...

Introduction The CMC can communicate with other devices over a variety of communications standards. Supported standards, or protocols, include RS-232, IRBUS (Ingersoll-Rand Proprietary), and Modicon’s MODBUS. The built-in ports on the CMC’s optional Universal Communication Adapters access communications. The CMC-MODBUS Interface defines the message structure that a CMC uses to exist on a MODBUS network.
This address must be unique in the MODBUS network. The valid range for this address is 01-FF (hexadecimal). NOTE: 00 (hexadecimal) is reserved for broadcast. Configuration of the slave address is available through the Ingersoll-Rand Service Tool and will be provided by a certified Ingersoll-Rand Service Representative.
The CMC Microcontroller can communicate with other devices over a variety of communication standards. Supported standards, or protocols, include RS-232, IRBUS (Ingersoll-Rand Proprietary), Modicon’s MODBUS, and Allen-Bradley DF1. The built-in ports of the CMC’s Universal Communication Module access communications. This UCM-DF1 Interface defines the message structure that a CMC Microcontroller uses to exist on a DH+ network.
Abbreviation Hexadecimal Value DF1 Device Address Configuration of the DF1 device address is available through the Ingersoll-Rand UCM- Wizard Tool and will be configured by a certified Ingersoll-Rand Service Representative. CAUTION The UCM must be configured to have the same node address as 1770-KF2 interface module.
CMC TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL checking for the command messages sent to CMC. The Ingersoll-Rand UCM-wizard software allows you to configure BCC or CRC error checking for the UCM-DF1 driver, which needs to be the same error checking method as 1770-KF2.

If a PLC5 or SLC5/04 issues the command, the local data file used to store the gathered data should be the same type. Otherwise, you get erroneous data or an error status code due to data type mismatch.
Communication Parameters Configuration of the UCM RS-422 port’s communication speed (baud rate), parity, number of data bits, number of stop bits... is available through the Ingersoll-Rand UCM-Wizard Tool and will be configured by a certified Ingersoll-Rand Service Representative. The settings should be the same as the 1770-KF2 interface module.
